STATUTORY RULES.

1927. No. 22.

REGULATIONS UNDER THE COMMONWEALTH PUBLIC SERVICE ACT 1922-1924.

WHEREAS the special circumstances attending the transfer of departments to a newly-established city will necessarily involve, at the outset, additional expense to compulsorily-transferred officers of those departments in relation to housing and living:

And whereas it is expedient that officers transferred to Canberra in these special circumstances should receive special allowances:

Now therefore the Board of Commissioners appointed under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1924, in pursuance and exercise of the authority conferred upon it by the said Act, and subject to the approval of the Governor-General, hereby makes the following amendment of the Regulations, such amendment to come into operation forthwith.

Dated this first day of March, 1927.

C. B. B. White, Chairman	Board of Commissioners.
W. J. Skewes,
J. P. McGlinn,

Approved in Executive Council this first day of March, 1927.

STONEHAVEN,

Governor-General.

By His Excellency’s Command,

G. F. PEARCE,

for Prime Minister.
